About

Mohammad D. Hasankola is a researcher in the field of rehabilitation robotics, with a focus on developing innovative mechatronic systems for neurological recovery. His work centers on the design and control of robotic orthoses and elastic actuators to improve gait rehabilitation for patients with spinal cord injuries and other neurological impairments. In his most-cited paper (2013), Hasankola presented a novel robotic orthosis for treadmill training, emphasizing low inertia and optimized mechanical design to support body weight and restore natural walking patterns. A second key contribution (2013) details the modeling and control of a rotary elastic actuator intended for use as a torque-actuator in rehabilitation robots, enabling safer, more compliant human-robot interaction. Though his citation counts are modest—3 and 2 citations respectively—these early works represent foundational steps in the development of lightweight, torque-controlled rehabilitation devices. Hasankola’s research bridges mechanical design, control theory, and clinical application, offering practical solutions for assistive robotics. His contributions are particularly relevant for students and engineers interested in the intersection of biomechanics, actuator design, and neurorehabilitation technology.
